Smith Optics Forefront Helmet Info
Can a helmet be lightweight, stylish, and offer improved safety features? Smith Optics answers that question with a resounding “Yes!” via the 2015 Forefront helmets. And the Forefront will keep you from overheating on the trail, to boot—all crammed into a svelte, weight-weenie-worthy 285 gram package (size medium, claimed weight).
The Forefront is a full coverage helmet, providing protection from more types of falls—exactly what you want from an all mountain lid. But it's the Koroyd technology—the honeycomb-like lattice beneath the helmet's external shell—that's the game changer, as Smith claims that when the material is combined with the industry-standard EPS, the helmet will dissipate 30% more energy from a crash before it reaches your head.
All that protection doesn't translate to a heavy package or a hot noggin. Thanks to Smith's proprietary Aerocore technology, the helmet channels cool air into the front of the helmet and over the rider's head; then warm air flows out the back. That increased airflow isn't just beneficial for body temperature regulation: the Forefront's AirEvac ventilation system also keeps warm air away from your sunglasses or goggles, reducing fogging.
The best helmet in the world won't do you much good if it doesn't fit. VaporFit, Smith's turn-dial fit system, offers a full five centimeters of adjustability. The whole VaporFit system can move up and down or rotate forwards and backwards for perfect engagement.
And although Smith may be relatively new to the bike helmet market, the snow sports giant with a pedigree in goggles, skiing/snowboarding helmets and shades for all sports is no stranger to product integration. Nifty slots allow you to slide your sunglasses onto the front or back of your helmet on long, hot climbs, and an integrated elastic loop will secure your goggles on aggressive descents. The removable visor can rotate a full 15 degrees, integrates with goggles, and won't bounce around. And Smith offers dedicated mounts for solid support for GoPro cameras and Light in Motion lights.
Better protection, better ventilation, light weight, good looks: Smith has you covered with the Forefront.
